Once Upon a Dream
Disney Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I walked with you
Once Upon a dream
I know you
That gleam in your eyes
Is so familiar a gleam
Yet I know it's true
But if I know you
I know what you do
You'll love me at once
The way you did once upon a dream
La da la da la ahahahahah
But if I know you
I know what you do
You'll love me at once
The way you did once upon a dream
I know you
I walked with you
Once Upon a dream
I know you
That gleam in your eyes
Is so familiar a gleam
Yet I know it's true
That visions are seldom what they seem
But if I know you
I know what you do
You'll love me at once
The way you did once upon a dream
The song "Once Upon a Dream" from Disney's Sleeping Beauty is a classic love song that expresses the intense connection and bond between two people. In the beginning of the song, the singer expresses their familiarity with the person they are addressing: "I know you, I walked with you, Once Upon a dream." This phrase signifies that the singer feels like they have known and met this person before, maybe even in a past life or dream. The repetition of "I know you" emphasizes their connection and familiarity.
The next line, "That gleam in your eyes, Is so familiar a gleam" suggests the singer is drawn to the other person's eyes, which is a common way to express closeness and attraction. The line "Yet I know it's true, That visions are seldom what they seem" indicates the singer is aware that their perception of the person they are addressing is not always accurate, reminding listeners that although love may seem idealized, it is important to stay grounded in reality.
The last stanza repeats the same lines as the beginning, emphasizing that the singer is confident in their knowledge of the other person's love for them. The song "Once Upon a Dream" is a testament to the power of love, and how the intensity of emotions can make someone feel like they have known and loved someone for eternity.
